According to the U.S. Supreme Court, apportioning income among the states resembles “slicing a shadow.” That is because states employ a patchwork of sourcing rules and formulas to determine how much of a business’s income is subject to tax. Within the same state different rules may apply to different types of entities (for example businesses operating as partnerships, C corporations or S corporations). And different rules apply to different types of receipts, such as receipts from the sales of services versus receipts from sales of tangible personal property. This webinar, taught by Open Weaver Banks from Hodgson Russ LLP, will review different state approaches to apportioning income and recent developments in this constantly evolving area of tax law, including legislative developments and court decisions.
